"Desire" 
by Sudeep Sen

Under the soft translucent linen,

the ridges around your nipples

harden at the thought of my tongue.

You — lying inverted like the letter ‘c’ —

arch yourself deliberately

wanting the warm press of my lips,

it’s wet to coat the skin

that is bristling, burning,

breaking into sweats of desire —

sweet juices of imagination.

But in fact, I haven’t even touched
